Condoms & Foxes & Skunks OH MY! < on 7/3/2011 6:59 PM > | Reply with Quote
Last thursday me and the GF had a chance to head up and and do a little exploring with skribblez and a couple of her friends. From what i gathered from them this place was used as a mental ward and for a few other things as well as most recently storage for the county. There are rooms that used to have padded walls and restraints as well as a patient visitor window with prison style phone setup for talking through the glass. A female worker was shot here as well which seems to have caused the slow phase out of this buildings use. In all this is a very interesting place with a few animal residents that scared the hell out of us on a couple of occasions. I dont know about everyone else but smelling like a skunk on the ride home didnt appeal to all of us much haha. In some places in a single wing it even goes from 3 stories to only 2 stories because of its placement in the hills. Post your pics here if ya got em skrib and enjoy everyone. They arn't the best since i had to use flash the whole time but there are a few gems.
Very cool, you just don't see many of the old mental health facilities still standing on the west coast. Good job on the infil. and pictures...more please.

haha I know exactly where this is... in one of the rooms there is a rather large BART map painted on the wall.
If I can dig up my hard drive I may have a bit to contribute but my understanding is that the local hobos sometimes seek shelter there. Pretty active site too considering its proximity to a large educational institution.
It's not a hard infil, I went during the day years ago. Stroll in, stroll out. Nothing doing.
It's never lonely down there...
